Write Your Own Recipe
Invent a sandwich, write the recipe, then make someone else follow it exactly.

- pen
- sandwich ingredients
طريقة التنفيذ
- They invent a sandwich and write the recipe as numbered steps.
- You then follow it exactly and literally, with no interpretation at all.
- If it says put the butter on the bread, put the tub on the loaf.
- Let them rewrite the steps that failed.
- Follow version two and eat the result.
